I think it’s all up to you! Some people wear their e-ring on their right hand (because the wedding band is supposed to go first on your finger, closer to your heart, aww!) and then after the ceremony put their e-ring back on their left hand. This is what I am going to do.

I also think some people give the ring to a family member/friend to hang on to during the ceremony and then they put it on after. Just go with whatever youre comfortable with!

Some brides leave it on and the groom puts the wedding band on the “outside” of the e-ring, and they get swapped later. (My friend did this & joked that it was so her husband would remember which finger her band went on!)

Some brides don’t wear the engagement ring during the ceremony at all. (My understanding is that this option is sometimes motivated by religious or cutural traditions, in those cases neither the bride nor groom wear any jewlery – something about “not showing off wealth, because we aren’t marrying for monetary reasons. Wealth has no bearing on this union.” – A different friend did this and explained her that as her reason.)

I was originally going to wear it on my right hand, but FH bought me a right hand ring he wants me to wear (matches a bracelet i’m planning on wearing) so I’m going to give it to my mom to hold on to and slip it on after the ceremony.

I wore it on its regular place on my left hand – I personally don’t understand the reasoning why not to. My husband put my wedding band on my finger next to it, and after the ceremony, right before the pictures, I just flipped them around to put the band on first. It took less than a second.

We did blessing of the ering after bands were exchanged. It was talked about how the ering got us to this point, it was a promise to marry, and now that it has been fulfilled, put it back on over the band so that the love that brought us to the alter continue to grow and sustain us in our marriage. Then he put my ering on.

I also wore mine and kept it on my left finger. Like Gemstone, my husband slipped the band on top and then I swapped the order of the rings later (though you can see in some of the photos that I forgot to switch them right away). 🙂 Worked out just fine!
